the iranian threat is intensified by it's going allies with the chavez regime in venezuela, which chooses to support iran with its own oil supply disruption during a conflict. our government should explicitly warn venezuela the united states would regard such a threat to the united states security interests. today's high oil prices are typical for american families and american businesses. yet without action the worst is likely to be many years down the road. even if every nuclear program is halted without resort to welfare, mid east oil supplies will remain at risk from political manipulation, conflict and terrorism. a serious sustained oil supply disruption could cripple our economy. over time we know rising oil demand from china, india, and other emerging economies will reduce america's capacity and stressed oil american supplies. in the keystone xl pipeline is one of best means at our disposal to help overcome future difficulties now. moreover, the decision to delay sends a signal to markets and overseas enemies that we are not serious about ending the united states energy dependent.
